Till Grallert<p>I just added holding information on 100+ Arabic periodicals from the National Library of Israel to <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Wikidata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wikidata</span></a> (many are marked as belonging “to the Absentee Property Collection (AP)” in the MARC files from the catalogue and thus a direct result of the <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Nakba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nakba</span></a> ).

Thomas Kerboul, de la Bibliothèque de Genève, animera un atelier lors de la journée #LibreABC2025 sur les jeux de données dans #Wikidata.
#SPARQL #RDF

Description:
Wikidata est une base de connaissances libre et ouverte offrant un accès à des données structurées. Au-delà de la consultation élément par élément, Wikidata permet de visualiser une grande quantité de données sous forme de tableaux, de cartes ou encore de chronologies et de créer ses propres jeux de données grâce au langage SPARQL.

Replied in thread

#wikidata est essentiel dans les projets #OpenData, notamment dans les institutions patrimoniales, qui ont tout intérêt à compléter des propriétés qui les concernent.

Les requêtes #sparql permettent par exemple d'associer des images de provenance différentes dans une galerie, avec les liens vers l'institution d'origine.
Voir aussi la somme de toutes les #peintures.
Il existe 2300 catalogues construits à partir de requêtes dans #wikidata, des listes d'#expositions...

Le rêve : répercuter les données sur #wikipedia et avoir des données intégrales sur préfets, sous-préfets, secrétaires...

On peut effectuer des requêtes en #sparql, en utilisant resonator pour une visualisation plus didactique, avec notamment une frise chronologique : voir histropedia pour les préfets de l'Aube.
Merci au roi de la requête @belett 😁

Elle ajoute aussi des #signatures et des #portraits sur #wikicommons

Bravo pour cette intervention 👏

Last April, @fabien_gandon highlighted how @w3c #LinkedData standards (such as RDF, SHACL, and #SPARQL) enable knowledge extraction, sharing, and machine learning across domains like #robotics, culture, medicine, and chemistry. These standards support interoperability, agent collaboration, and distributed #AI. He concluded his talk with a call to address AI's impact on user attention and to encourage ethical dialogue within the W3C community.
